OCC Clean and Simple 3 - Faux Metal

I'm so excited to start another class at Online Card Classes! This time the class is focusing on clean and simple, one layer cards. Neither of which I normally do, but I'm a big fan of the teachers in this class and am excited to learn some new techniques.

The first card features a faux metal embellishment, created by stamping Versamark through a punched image and heat embossing with silver powder 3 times, and then after the last application quickly stamping with a flower stamp to create an impression.

I used Simon Says Stamps from the set that came with the February card kit for the sentiment and several flowers, as well as some small flowers I had from different sets.

Here you can see a close up of the faux metal. Neat effect!

All these flowers definitely make me think of springtime!

Inside - I combined several stamps from different sets to create a fun, coordinating inside!
